To define
receiver tracing factors during segment definition, choose
Receiver tracing factor
or
Tracing factors must be defined before you carry out periodic allocations. You cannot calculate tracing factors while you are executing periodic allocation within a cycle. For example, the data for segment 1 cannot be the tracing factors for segment 2.
You can overwrite the following entries in the tracing factor definition:
- Segment name
- Segment text
- Lock indicator
- Receiver tracing factors
- Scaling of negative tracing factors
Define the tracing factors you selected in the segment.
The ready-for-entry fields on the
Receiver tracing Factor
screen are based on the receiver rules you selected in the segment definition.
If you have entered the receiver rule
Fixed amounts
, enter the amount.
Specify the percentage rate if you selected receiver rule
Fixed percentages
.
If you selected the receiver rule
Fixed portions
, specify the portion.
You can display the text on the relevant receiver objects for the tracing factors. To do so, double-click on the object, or choose
Detail.
If you entered the receiver rule
Variable portions
(flexible tracing factor determination), enter the selection criteria the system is to use as the tracing factor.
Selection criteria fields, reflecting the variable portion types for the selected receiver tracing factor
The possible entries as selection criteria depend on the field groups you selected in the cycle header.
Note the following when you execute periodic repostings or distribution :
If you selected the field group
Consumption
and the sender rule
Variable portions
in the
Segment header
screen, you must enter the tracing factor as the secondary cost element used to post the consumption during activity allocation (in plan or actual).
This cost element is stored in the master data of the allocated activity type, but you can overwrite it during planning.
You can create or change a group for the selection criteria when defining the tracing factors.
To do so, position your cursor on the group.
Choose
This takes you to the group maintenance for the master data. Choose

To display information on the senders or receivers for the segment, choose
Display receivers.
The system displays an overview of the header data for your cycle, as well as on the senders or receivers.
